SummaryA vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a wireless network composed of a collection of mobility devices that link via a wireless channel without the need for permanent infrastructure or centralized administration. Multicasting is a method of sending data from a single node to multiple recipients at the same time. Because of its energizing network topology and constricted resources, a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) presents a number of issues. Because network execution measurements such as latency, bandwidth, throughput, and energy fluctuate so rapidly owing to node movement, these network properties in a wireless mobile ad hoc network are ambiguous. Because of the influence of these uncertainty issues, determining the top‐grade path from the originating node to a set of recipient nodes is challenging. In order to preserve network resources, we used a Swarm Intelligence‐based fuzzy logic strategy in this study that includes channel caliber factor and connection termination time to try to alleviate these uncertainty issues. This strategy integrates all of the network indicators available for the routes into an individual quantity named as fuzzy cost or cost of communication. The routes with the lowest fuzzy cost will be regarded optimum, and data will be delivered along this route from the originating point to a set of receivers. The simulation was carried out using NS‐3.38 and MATLAB, and the results reveal that the suggested protocol, HACOFLM, outperforms ODMRP, OFAODV, MAODV, and DFMCRP by means of packet delivery ratio, latency, control packet overhead, and throughput. DFMCRP outperforms MAODV by 3% to 6%, OFAODV by 13% to 19%, and ODMRP by 16% to 23%. According to HACOSMO, based on the number of vehicles and velocities, routing overhead is 7% to 10% less than DFMCRP, 9% to 13% less than MAODV, 17% to 29% less than OFAODV, and 22% to 36% less than ODMRP. It improvise throughput by 4% to 6% when contrasted to DFMCRP, 5% to 9% when contrasted to MAODV, 10% to 14% when contrasted to OFAODV, and 14% to 23% when contrasted to ODMRP.
